2018 - 2022 Infiniti Q50 How to replace brakes.
Pros
More power for less money is almost always a good idea. With the 300-horsepower 3.0t versions, a buyer can save thousands over an equivalent BMW 3 Series. And that’s before we get into options.
Cons
Do you have to have the highest-status badge on the grille? Sure, Infiniti is somewhat elevated, but the Germans and the Jags have more cachet. They also tend to have more nuanced driving experiences as well.
Driving The Used 2019 INFINITI Q50
Even though the Red Sport 400 version is exceptionally quick, it’s on the costly side. The 3.0t version strikes a full, lush chord with low notes from the subtly growling 300-horsepower V6, a pleasant mid-range of luxury tempered with a smattering of road feel, and some high frequencies from the accelerative energy. In other words, it’s great to drive, especially at the price. A BMW 340i with 320 horsepower is around $50,000, whereas the 3.0t Luxe is closer to $40,000. The Q50 is significantly heavier, though, which dulls the driver’s edge somewhat. For many people, perhaps that’s a deal worth taking.
Interior Comfort
Terrific seats and soft touchpoints contribute to the general feeling of luxury in the 2019 Infiniti Q50. A driver sinks into the seat, just enough to enhance the feelings of comfort and control alike. Rear-passenger space is among the more generous in this class. There aren’t many stowage options up front, although the cubby under the center armrest is useful. A performance-themed gauge cluster and a digitally enhanced, dual-screen center stack look impressive, but not so user-friendly in practice.
Exterior Styling
If nothing else, the 2019 Q50 - and Infiniti’s agreeable styling approach in general - proves that it’s possible to send sufficient amounts of cooling air into the engine bay without resorting to a huge grille. Pleasing shapes, curves, lines and proportions are everywhere in the Q50’s exterior design. We should point out that the Red Sport 400 is also available in colors other than red.
Favorite Features
DYNAMIC DIGITAL SUSPENSION
This adaptive suspension features adjustable dampers that stretch the parameters, bringing the choice of a more comfortable ride or sharper handling. It’s standard in the 3.0t Sport and Red Sport 400.
Standard Features
Infiniti’s 2019 Q50 in 2.0t Pure form comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, full LED exterior lighting, liquid-filled front engine mounts (contributing to overall refinement), rain-sensing wipers, keyless entry/ignition, simulated leather upholstery, 8-way power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, dual-display infotainment system with 8-inch (upper) and 7-inch (lower) touch screens, two USB ports, HD/satellite radio, and forward-collision mitigation. The 3.0t brings the V6 engine, 18-inch alloy wheels (going up to 19-inch in the Sport and Red Sport 400), power moonroof, and maple wood trim.
Factory Options
Apart from all-wheel drive, the 2019 Q50 2.0t Pure is not eligible for many options. Higher up the Q50 totem are extras like leather upholstery, heated steering wheel/front seats, steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, 360-degree camera system, and a 16-speaker Bose audio upgrade. There’s also a drive-by-wire option called Direct Adaptive Steering, but its numbness precludes us from recommending it. It would have been great if Infiniti had decided to make parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot intervention and active lane-departure prevention standard in the top Red Sport 400 model, but they’re optional in all V6-equipped versions.
Engine & Transmission
The 2019 Q50 2.0t has a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. It makes 208 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels (RWD) or, optionally, all four (AWD) through a 7-speed automatic transmission with a Sport mode and rev-matched downshifts. It’s a nice enough engine, but Infiniti doesn’t bother to publish standstill-to-60-mph times. The 3.0t and Red Sport 400 both have turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engines. In the 3.0t, it makes 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque (zero to 60 mph in around five seconds); the Red Sport 400 enjoys 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque (good for a 4.5-second sprint to 60 mph). These versions also have the 7-speed automatic transmission and offer the option of all-wheel drive.
